Sinossi
Da trent'anni, ogni anno, gli studenti della Vienna High aspettano un evento con grande trepidazione: la pubblicazione della Lista, la classifica delle ragazze più belle e popolari della scuola. Tra le dieci elette, questa volta compare anche il nome di Kenzie Summerall e lei stessa è la prima a stupirsi. Kenzie è tutto il contrario della ragazza cool: non viene invitata alle feste esclusive, non ha mai avuto un fidanzato e la sua unica passione è il latino. Tutti i compagni di scuola, poi, la ricordano soprattutto per un evento drammatico: la morte di suo fratello Conner, vittima di un tragico quanto inaspettato incidente di cui lei si sente responsabile. La Lista, però, ribalta completamente la vita di Kenzie, che comincia a riceve le attenzioni dei ragazzi - e in particolare quelle di Josh, di cui è innamorata dai tempi delle medie e che non l'ha mai filata - e strani messaggi in latino che sembrano avvertirla di un pericolo imminente. Ma la faccenda si fa davvero inquietante quando le ragazze della Lista iniziano a morire in circostanze sospette... In un crescendo di colpi di scena ed enigmi da decifrare, Kenzie si ritrova ad affrontare situazioni in bilico tra la vita e la morte, fino a scoprire una verità inaspettata che affonda le radici in un passato lontano.

I'm not a fan of destroying someone else’s work because I know the efforts that person may have put into it, but sometimes it feels like there's none. So I don't think I should put any effort in trying to understand how is possible for someone to have read this story and have thought “ This is good e Leggi tutto
1.5 star I thought I had topped my levels of sheer absurdity with Dear Killer , but, as it turns out, They All Fall Down was more than willing to put up a really great fight, and thus, ended up taking the cake for the most preposterous, ridiculous, inane, insipid and laughably vacuous book I've re
“I don’t want to fear life—I want to live it.” ― Roxanne St. Claire, They All Fall Down I had looked forward to this one. While I did not hate it, (Goodreads NEEDS a 1-10 rating scale!) I did not love it. They all fall down is a mystery revolving around Kensey, a student. Shy and intelligent, she is in Leggi tutto
This review is also posted on my blog, Anatea's Bookshelf. I was a little afraid to pick this one up as the description says "Pretty Little Liars meets Final Destination" . I'm glad I didn't think this book had much in common with PLL because after Get Even by Gretchen McNeil , I don't think I'd
They All Fall Down is a psycho-thriller that is a little juvenile, a bit dark and a bit comic although I wish the comic element was more. Nonetheless, it was quite entertaining. I’m glad I didn’t expect more because the cover alone already foreshadows the story’s out-turn. That way, I was able to en Leggi tutto
I'm a huge PLL fan (or so I was until things started to get too out of hand lol) and when I first read the premise to this book, I couldn't wait to dive into it and spend a few hours bathing in thrilling climax, eating ice-cream and solving mysteries. *kicks chair* I tried so much to like this book, I Leggi tutto
'They All Fall Down' is a gripping and fast-paced young adult thriller that will have the reader on the edge of their seat and guessing until the very end. The book tells the story of Kenzie Summerall, our geeky Latin-speaking heroine - and how her life is irrevocably changed by a simple list of ten Leggi tutto
“I don't want to fear life -- I want to live it.” I have to say this was a cover buy for me. I still think the cover is awesomely cheesy. I like tacky, what can I say/ I feel torn on this book. On the one hand, the book was stupid fun and mildly entertaining. On the other hand, most of th
“I don’t want to fear life—I want to live it.” Rating: 1.5/5 stars We'll keep this one on the short side so we can all continue to merrily go about our Sunday. To put it plain and simple...it's a no from me. Ultimately, what hooked me on this story was that it was pitched as Pretty Little Liars meets Leggi tutto
